The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1990 Renault Extra is a light commercial van, and these MOT figures reveal a reliability challenge: just 59.5% pass on the first attempt, compared to the 80% UK average. Diesel variants fare marginally better at 60.7% pass rate versus petrol at 57.9%, but both are well below standard.
At around 115,000 miles median, these vehicles show typical wear for their age, yet owners should expect to budget for remedial work—the average car carries 0.14 failures and 0.4 advisories per test. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with 1990s French vans, as the first-time pass rate suggests underlying issues that may not be immediately obvious.
We have 3,738 1990 Renault Extra vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
